If you're shopping for a plug-in hybrid that balances electric driving with road-trip flexibility, the 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV delivers. With three trims to choose from - EX, EX Premium, and SX - the Sorento PHEV offers a range of features and price points to match different lifestyles and budgets.
All three trims share the same powertrain: a 1.6L turbo engine paired with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, producing 268 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. That's enough for confident highway merging and smooth city driving. The 6-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD keep the Sorento PHEV planted in all weather conditions. You'll get 55 km of all-electric range - enough for most daily commutes without burning a drop of fuel - and a combined fuel economy of 2.8 L/100 km when using both gasoline and electric power. A full charge takes 3.8 hours on a 240V charger.

The EX trim is built for buyers who want the core PHEV experience without paying for extras they won't use. You get synthetic leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and LED projection headlights - features that make daily driving more comfortable without adding unnecessary cost. The 12.3-inch multimedia interface and 4-inch TFT LCD instrument cluster keep you connected, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration come standard. Smart Cruise Control with stop-and-go handles highway traffic, and the smart key with push-button start makes every trip feel effortless.
The EX also includes a wireless phone charger, an electric chromic rear-view mirror, and a smart power liftgate that opens automatically when you approach with your hands full. If you're looking for a well-equipped PHEV at the lowest entry price, the EX delivers.
The EX Premium trim is designed for buyers who spend a lot of time in their vehicle and want a more refined experience. It adds a panoramic sunroof, air-cooled front seats, and heated rear seats - features that make long drives and family road trips more enjoyable. The power-folding sideview mirrors and LED fog lights improve visibility and convenience in tight parking situations.
Inside, you'll find a power-adjustable front passenger seat, driver's seat memory function, and alloy pedals. The deluxe door scuff plates and satin chrome interior door handles add a touch of polish. If you value comfort and want a few extra conveniences without stepping up to the top trim, the EX Premium is the right choice.
The SX trim is built for buyers who want the full Sorento PHEV experience. It upgrades to genuine leather seats with quilted stitching, available in black or Carmine Red. The suede headliner, pillars, and sun visors create a more upscale cabin feel. The Bose premium audio system delivers richer sound, and the 12.3-inch Supervision LCD/TFT instrument cluster replaces the smaller 4-inch display found in the lower trims.
The SX also includes advanced driver-assistance features like Parking Collision Avoidance Assist - Reverse, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2, Parking Distance Warning (front, side, and rear), Surround View Monitor, Blind View Monitor, and Highway Drive Assist 2. These systems work together to reduce stress in tight parking lots and on long highway drives. The full display digital electric chromic rear-view mirror turns the mirror into a panoramic digital display, giving you a wider view of what's behind you.
Other SX-exclusive features include Digital Key (which lets you use your smartphone as a secure key), navigation, a 110V inverter, rain-sensing wipers, and integrated manual rear door sunshades. If you want the most advanced technology and the most refined interior, the SX is the trim to choose.
